NCT ID NCT07258329

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study is testing whether certain substances from the placenta (called sFlt-1 and PlGF) can help doctors know if a baby is in trouble during labor. About 428 pregnant women will give blood samples and have their baby's heart rate monitored. The goal is to see if these markers can predict problems like low oxygen or low Apgar scores, which could lead to safer deliveries.
